When our friend groups met

5. Summer of 1976

Regulus could hear the tv of Star Trek playing, he'd managed to sneak in some tv, before his mother and Stepfather would tell him to go to bed. The more he watched Star Trek the more he wondered how Vulcans could survive without brains? And if it was anything Captain Kirk always ended up getting trapped in places, like an idiot.

"What are you watching?" A voice came from behind him. Regulus started no panic, "nothing why?" He said quickly getting the tv controls and turning it off. "Was that Star Trek you were watching?" His stepfather said, Regulus nodded in defeat. "My dear boy, why didn't you tell. I would have came and watched it with you." Regulus was shocked at his response. "You can watch it with me now, if you want." Regulus managed say. He sat down on the sofa next to him.

After they watched 2 episodes, he began to speak "a few years ago, I went to go see the actors of Star Trek in person." He said, Regulus jumped up from his seat "Wait really?" "How about I show you my collection." He said.

They went up stairs, in his room. The was an old cupboard with key whole in it, he pulled out the off his belt. He then unlocked it carefully and slowly, when it unlocked his eyes lit up. "You are probably the coolest person I have ever met!" Regulus said. "You can have these to things in my collection because, I have no need for them anymore." It was a Phaser from the show, and the first comic to ever come out Star Trek no.1. "Thanks Hugh! This really means a lot." Regulus said with a smile. "There's no need to call me Hugh, how about you call me dad." He said with a smile. "Ok dad." Regulus said, he couldn't believe it he had a dad who loved him and cared about him.

At that moment they heard yelling from the end of the hall way. They both went to go and check it out.

"Then leave this house!" His mother screamed at his older brother. "I will leave and you'll never see me again!" "Walburga that's going to far." "No I'm tired of that boy always disrespecting us!" Hugh left it at that, and walked away with his mother.

Regulus walked into Sirius room "your not actually leaving, are you?" Regulus said to his older brother. "I'm leaving for good this time and you're coming with me." Sirius said while packing a bag. "I don't know, if I can." "Come on Reg, just think how much better it will be for the both of us." "Where would we even stay?" "At James, I already sent him a letter saying that we'd both come, and he said that he'd love you to come. And as a bonus Barty Evan and Remus will be there." Wait a minute what where Barty and Evan doing there!? He didn't really want to leave because, he finally felt like he had a real dad who he could bond with. But then James and the others were there, James would be nice to him. So he made up his mind. "Ok I'll run away with you." Regulus said, before he went to pack his things.

They left at midnight. "How long will it take to walk there?" Regulus questioned. "It's only a 12 hour walk." Sirius said, he looked at his older brother like he was being crazy "You're not being Serious right?" "That's my name." Sirius said with a grin. They started walking in the summer night, Sirius struck up a conversation to make them distracted. After 12 hours they had made it.

Sirius knocked on the big wooden 1950s door, while Regulus looked at the house it was ginormous, so the Potters where rich rich.

Regulus got a shock when he heard the door squeak open like a old train on tracks. "Hello my dears." A kind woman said. Regulus guessed that was James mother. Sirius walked in happily, while Regulus walked in quietly. "You must be Regulus, James has told us so much about you. Also you can call me Effie." Regulus nodded shivering from the cold from outside. Sirius soon went to go find, Remus because they had something going on with each other.

At that moment James entered the room, his eyes lit up when he saw Regulus. "Reggie your here!" He said, while running over to hug Regulus. Regulus hugged him back with a smile. "Come on I'll get your stuff and we'll go to my bedroom." James said. "We're going to share a room for the summer." James said. "Ok that's fine with me." he said.
